Clover on J2EE: Manual Testing

I'm new to Clover and I would like to apply test coverage to a J2EE web application with Websphere server. I am wondering that is it possible to run it without providing junit test cases ? in other words, is it possible to execute test cases from the browser on the fly since it's a web application ? for example, the user will be clicking around on the browser, and Clover will be sitting on the back tracking which method or class from which servlet that is being called and excuted, and then generate a report at the end based on that.

If so, can you give me instructions or example on how to do it on Eclipse ?

I mentioned about merging of database files, but this has to be done after running tests. In general we have two approaches for multi-module builds:

create separate clover.db for every module, run every module (they can be executed separetely), next merge coverage results into one cloverMerge.db (using the clover2:merge goal) and generate a coverage report or

create single clover.db for whole application (using the singleCloverDatabase property for clover2:instrument or clover2:setupgoals), run whole application, (no need to merge), next generate a coverage report
